Chapter 23 The Devil Returns To School

After a couple of hours of sobbing, I finally left my room and headed downstairs. However, I found it strange that neither Mum or Dad were home yet.

I went into the kitchen, hopping to find Mum cooking dinner. Instead, I found a note of the fridge.

Me and Dad have gone out for dinner. Leftovers are in the fridge -Mum

I sighed as I opened the fridge up to find my dinner inside. Dad and Mum have been spending a lot more time with each other now I thought. They we're barely talking to each other a week ago.

After I ate my dinner, I went to the living room and began watching some TV. It didn't take me too long before I got bored.

What time is it? I suddenly thought, I looked at the corner of the TV, it read seven o'clock. Maybe I should head to bed early I thought as I sat up from the couch, I've gotta nothing better to do.

I went back upstairs to my room and got changed into my pjs. Then, I hopped into bed. My pillows still wet from my crying I thought as I placed my head on my pillow. I quickly tossed the pillow over and fell asleep.

The next morning...

After I got up the next morning, I went downstairs to find that Mum and Dad were having breakfast together in the dinning room. "Hey honey" Mum said when I found them, "Hey Mum, Hey Dad" I said in a groggy voice, I hadn't quite woken up yet.

"How was dinner last night?" I asked them, They looked at each other and Mum smiled "It was great Sonya, I wish we could have brought you with us."

"It's fine mum" I said as I walked over to the kitchen and begun to prepare my breakfast.

After breakfast, I went back upstairs and got changed into a grey T-shirt and some shorts, I put my hair up in a high ponytail, letting a few wisps of hair across my face.

I grabbed my bag, through it over my bag and went downstairs. I made my stop to the kitchen and grabbed my lunch box. "Bye Mum, Bye Dad" I said as I made my way to the front door. While I was leaving, I could faintly hear them say "Bye Sonya."

After I left the house, I made my way to my usual bus stop and waited for the bus to arrive. After waiting for 15 minutes, the bus finally drove in and I hopped on. Gwen wasn't on the bus do I decided to sit at the far back.

When the bus finally drove into school, I saw Izzy and Eliza waiting for me. "Hey you two" I said as I made my way towards them. "Hey Sonya" Eliza said "Is Gwen not here?"

I shook my head, "She wasn't on the bus." "I hope she's ok" Izzy said. Suddenly, our eyes went over to the car park where we saw a familiar car just parking in one of the empty lots.

We saw one of the doors open and out stepped Gwen out, waving goodbye to whoever the driver was. Then the car reversed out of the lot and drove off. Gwen then looked over at us and quickly rushed over to us.

"Sorry I'm late" she said when she got to us, " She took a minute to catch her breath "I slept in by accident." "Where just glad that your here" Izzy said with a smile, "It would be weird if you didn't come." We all laughed and made our way to the lockers.

After we put our bags away, We went over to the bleacher to talk. "So Eliza" Izzy said once we sat down on the bleachers, "Who are going you to prom with?" Eliza looked at us surprised, then she looked away, she was blushing. "Tyler Benets" she said in a quiet voice.

"Good for you" Gwen said as she placed her hand on Eliza's shoulder, like she was congratulating her. "Isn't he in the basketball team?" asked Izzy, "Yeah" explained Eliza "He asked me a couple of weeks ago after school, it was so sweet."

"Wow" Izzy exclaimed "Everyone's got a date for prom." Everyone smiled happily and we continued to talk about it. 10 minutes later, I found myself grabbing my phone out of my picket to check the time. It read 8:39an.

"We better start making our way to class" I said as I sat up. No one argued with me as we all made our way from the bleachers towards our lockers.

Once I got to my locker, I pulled my phone out to check what class I had. To my surprise, I had a free session. Yes! No school work!

I was going to go find the others and tell them, but they had already gone to there classes. Maybe I should go to the library I thought, There's nothing else I can do.

It took me at least 20 minutes to get to the library, mainly because it was at the far end of the school, near the gym. As I passed it, I took a glance inside one of the windows to see what was happening.

The Prom committee was inside, putting the last decorations on for Prom. It didn't look anything like a gym anymore, It was a wonderland. After a couple minutes of staring, I continued to make my way to the library.

For some reason, the library was much busier than usually. Nearly all the computers were being used and some of the isles were crowded with students. Probably studding for exams I thought, makes sense.

One of the libraries, Mr Ricks walked up to me, asking what I needed. I showed him my free session pass. "Just be sure to keep quiet" he said as I put my pass away, "Some people are studding."

I nodded as he walked off, heading towards a student who had his hand up. I walked over to one of the less crowded isles. As I scanned the books with my index finger, I suddenly heard Mr Van say something quite loudly that would made the morning a game of hide and seek.

"Mrs Thompson,your back from suspension!"
